some fight resistance to what guns symbolize, rooted in revolutionary war ideals

there is fear that if u give an inch (e.g., universal background checks) leads to a mile (full bans)

THE UNITED STATES HAS 400M+ GUNS AND 50K+ GUN DEATHS/YEAR (HOMICIDES, SUICIDES, ACCIDENTS).

compromises that exist

safe storage laws

mental health funding

licensing systems

WHY DO THESE MEASURES FAIL?

Polarization and lobbying (NRA/gun-control groups profit from fear).

smart guns could shift debate towards safety over bans

to fight or not?

we can be better

probably i mean 50k yearly deaths is a lot of affected families
